Does anybody know if there are any ongoing efforts to create a new official announcement thread or to reopen the closed one?

The linked topic in the Coinmarketcap listing is still closed. This will scare new potential investors imho.

this.this forum is a reference to all of those who seek to invest in this market, the ann thread provides amazing information but even more important it provides responses by the community of the coin itself

Q: How do you calculated the amount of BCC (1K) to airdrop next week? Can we expect more airdrops since that’s only 5% of the bcc stack?A: we’ll do in batches, and the amount received will be determined by the amount of WCT you hold.

Q: So, We the People, via WCT’s will be the self-regulating body in conjunction with Tokenomica? A Sort of honest man and woman’s S & P or Moody’s Ratings Agency for the ICO World? 🙂 Is that a fairly accurate assessment?A: Yes. compliance is the key to success now. and of course we need to do the vetting process as decentralized as possible.

These actions will begin to fulfill the promises made when WCT-tokens was launched and distributed free to all Waves holders. Half of the value is in Waves and other half in WCT-tokens. Waves will bring the tx-fees and WCT bring the airdrops and voting power to the table.

If only the whole BTC-pile from ico had been signed up in Byteball distribution like some other platforms did with their ico money, People would of learned the value of WCT much earlier... Don't forget that the base value is 10 Waves / 1 WCT (100 million / 10 million). Just wait when more and more of these well known companies such as the current Waves-partners Burger kings and Deloittes start creating tokens and making airdrops for WCT holders, you will see very different prices on WCT.

...And yet, people have been selling below 0,3 Waves / 1 WCT. O'boy will they regret that soon .

The waves team did already try to reopen the thread, but it seems to be without success. The waves team will open a new official bitcoin thread when the new branding materials are available. Probably mid of November.

It is very pleasant to see Waves showing nice upwards movement after few days. People those having bitcoin for weeks can grab Waves using them to pick up cheap at current to be able to run node for passive income. Waves is flying again under the radar when people are busy with other markets.

I would like to know if it passes the vote of 1000 waves to make a full node, is it worth doing one?

You can see here: http://dev.pywaves.org/blocks/ that most of the blocks are not full, which means the reward for forging/staking is not maximized. If the DEX gains traction, a lot more transactions will need to be processed and so the rewards for forging/staking will increase.

Hello,I cancelled waves leasing, sold 30 waves on DEX and tried to send BTC to the Cryptopia exchange. It says "wrong address". I doubt that cryptopia gave me the wrong address.Is it because I did not wait 1000 blocks (if I remember right) for leasing to be fully cancelled (or smth like that)? But I managed to sell waves on DEX.Can somebody explain that? Thank you!

EDIT: Solved. I just used "Withdraw" instead of "Send". But what the purpose of "Send"?

You can "Send" coins to other Waves wallets.

without paying the fee??

I think you might not have to pay the Bitcoin transaction fee, but you'll still pay the 0.001 Waves fee. That's a very interesting question actually that I don't know the definite answer to. This could potentially make Waves the cheapest and quickest way to move coins around.

Waves is implementing new technology, which will enable the network to process thousands of transactions per minute — making it the fastest decentralised blockchain platform in the world. This innovation will bring blockchain technology to the next level of evolution, enabling it to compete with mainstream payment processors and to achieve mass-market adoption. The public stress test will begin on 8th November.

“Waves-NG”, a next-generation technology designed to increase effective bandwidth and speed of block creation, is especially significant for businesses using Waves platform, since it allows conducting microtransactions without any delays which are typical for traditional blockchain systems. It also allows the platform to withstand high loads, such as distribution of tokens following crowdsales and airdrops of bonus tokens. The speed of processing trading transactions on Waves decentralised exchange (DEX) is increased as well.

The prototype for the development of Waves-NG was Bitcoin-NG, a protocol developed for Bitcoin by Emin Gün Sierer, Co-Director of the Initiative for Cryptocurrencies and Contracts at Cornell.

“In recent years, we have seen blockchain technology show the world its unique capabilities and amazing promise. As well, we’ve seen it hit a wall when it comes to scalability. If blockchains are to conquer the world, they need to scale. The Waves team is at the forefront of this race to scale. With NG, Waves has adopted the cutting edge of blockchain protocols for on-chain scaling. Specifically, NG enables blockchains to minimize latency and maximize throughput. The Waves team has shown that they have an innovative platform that incorporates the best-known technology and is ready for challenges of the next generation of demanding applications,” says Emin Gün Sirer.

NG is a protocol change that allows an increase in the number of transactions per block without increasing the number of forks. The information necessary to start generating the next block is delivered to all nodes very quickly after the previous one is generated, and only then does the miner send the transactions that will fill the block to the network, submitting them in several tranches (microblocks).

“We are very excited to be able to deploy Waves-NG on our network. As a platform of mass adoption, it’s critical that we should be able to support a high throughput of transactions, whilst maintaining robust security. NG lays the foundations for our next phase of growth and a step-change in the size of the ecosystem we can support,” says Alexander Ivanov, founder and CEO of Waves.
